December 2008 to present: Solo 2-CD project (to be announced soon) After several years off-stage, I decided to do a double CD of previously-enjoyed material to close my musical past, which is (so far) a 40 song compilation of classic love songs, humor, base solo work and more. I am playing basses, guitars, some keyboards, percussion and up to eleven and twelve layer vocals on all these tunes. It covers, latin, funk, rock, pop, standards, progressive and a capella.
